I am pleased that the Supreme Court upheld a law that prohibits the
abhorrent procedure of partial-birth abortion. Today's decision affirms
that the Constitution does not stand in the way of the people's
representatives enacting laws reflecting the compassion and humanity of
America. The partial-birth abortion ban, which an overwhelming bipartisan
majority in Congress passed and I signed into law, represents a commitment
to building a culture of life in America.

The Supreme Court's decision is an affirmation of the progress we have made
over the past six years in protecting human dignity and upholding the
sanctity of life. We will continue to work for the day when every child is
welcomed in life and protected in law.
